A plurality of cylinders nested in sequence aredisposed between the upper seat 11 and the lower seat 12, and thecylinders are provided with a plurality of locking mechanisms. Thecollapsible stool body 1 includes a cavity 13 and an upper cover 2configured to cover and uncover the cavity 13 is mounted on the upperseat 11.

As shown in FIGS. 3-4 , a rear end of the upper seat 11 is rotatablyconnected to a backup ring 3 disposed between the top of the upper seat11 and the bottom of the upper cover 2. When the upper cover 2 is in aclosed state, the upper seat 11, the backup ring 3 and the upper cover 2are distributed sequentially from bottom to top.

As shown in FIG. 3 , in order to facilitate opening the upper cover 2and the backup ring 3, a rear end of the upper cover 2 is rotatablyconnected to the rear end of the upper seat 11. The rear end of theupper seat 11 includes a connection seat 111 with which a rear end ofthe backup ring 3 and the rear end of the upper cover 2 are both hinged.

As shown in FIG. 2 , a front end of the upper cover 2 is connected tothe upper seat 11 via a buckle such that the upper cover 2 can be stablyfixed on the upper seat 11. Specifically, the front end of the uppercover 2 includes a buckle 21, a buckling block 112 mated with the buckle21 is disposed at an outer side wall of a front end of the upper seat11, and a lower end of the buckle 21 is configured to be coupled to adownwardly-opened groove (not shown) of the buckling block 112.

As shown in FIG. 3 , to enable the top of the upper seat 11 to be insmooth connection with the backup ring 3, the upper seat 11 is annularlyshaped. The upper seat 11 is in communication with the cavity 13, andthe top of the upper seat 11 includes a plane in connection with thebackup ring 3.

As shown in FIG. 5 , locking hooks 8 are mounted to the upper seat 11,and locking rings 9 fitted with the locking hooks 8 are mounted to thelower seat 12. The numbers of the locking hooks 8 and the locking rings9 are preferably three respectively. When the multifunctionalcollapsible stool is in a folded state, the locking hooks 8 are fittedinto the locking rings 9 to maintain the folded state.

As shown in FIG. 3 , a plurality of springs 4 disposed inside the cavity13 are mounted between the upper seat 11 and the lower seat 12. Thenumber of the springs 4 is preferably three, and the three springs 4 aredisposed at an edge of the cavity 13.

As shown in FIG. 3 , a spring clip 5 is mounted to the bottom of thecover 2. The number of the spring clips 5 is preferably two. A garbagebag may be hung on the spring clip 5. The spring clip 5 is detachablymounted at the bottom of the cover 2, and therefore, the spring clip 5may be dismounted if not utilized.

A strap 6 is wound on an outer side of the upper seat 11 of thecollapsible stool body 1, and a handle 7 is disposed at the top of theupper seat 11 and the bottom of the lower seat 12, respectively, whereineach handle 7 includes a first component 701 and a second component 702.By including the strap 6 and the handle 7, the multifunctionalcollapsible stool may easily be picked up and carried.
